Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Lemon
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. Strip the rosemary leaves off the sprigs and finely chop them.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Zest the lemon into the bowl and then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the mixture, ensuring no seeds fall in.
Mix the marinade thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them.
Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage the marinade into the lamb chops to coat evenly.
Refrigerate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove lamb chops from marinade and let them come to room temperature while the grill heats up.
Place lamb chops on the grill and cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
Remove lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes, covered lightly with foil.
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top of the lamb chops before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful low sodium lamb chops!
